Resolving the metabolism of monolignols and other lignin-related aromatic compounds in Xanthomonas citri
Abstract Lignin, a major plant cell wall component, has an important role in plant-defense mechanisms against pathogens and is a promising renewable carbon source to produce bio-based chemicals. However, our understanding of microbial metabolism is incomplete regarding certain lignin-related compoun...
